K-12 School Newspaper and Images

← Return to forum

  • Can students who create the school newspaper (K-12 for students, staff and parents to read) use photographs from the AP site and/or other news sites within their newspaper and along with student written articles regarding current events if they provide citation for the picture? Same question regarding crossword puzzles and games, if citation is provided, can they be used in a K-12 student newspaper? If not, what are the guidelines for photographs, images, puzzles and games?
  • Try this site: http://www.splc.org/knowyourrights/legalresearch.asp?id=32 and scroll down to the sections titled Obtaining Permission to Use a Copyrighted Work and Fair use. This ought to give you some good guidance tailored specifically to school newspapers. And at the bottom of the page the Student Press Law Center encourages you to contact them with questions.
